distraught eagle is perfect

Black humorously he noted if he and his fellow carrying ex-military dudes had pursued/engaged the shooter they might have been mistaken for working with him, aka one of the “bad guys”. Imagine that!

Note: I am in no way defending either the letter writer or the responder from Uexpress. I think we can all agree they are both shitty people.

A wild Slepnir appears.

Great excerpt, left wanting more. If one is looking to pad out a noir fiction Amazon order (while buying this book), strongly recommend any of the big titles by Jim Cain, and definitely the Richard Beautigan sleeper sendup of the genre Dreaming of Babylon (1978). This last is a quick, must read for any gumshoe fans,…

Hey, I might have mentioned funny armor but I never said to mess with them. They are still armored to withstand more than I and armed with sharp pointy things that are still deadly to my fleshy bits. That said, thanks for the advice.

Seriously, second this comment. This article totally opened my eyes to the guys in the funny armor. I mean, it makes sense that they keep up with the times, but I never realized to what extent. This was really interesting to read about!

Additionally wary of conducting business on your personal computer. Lets say you check your work email from your personal computer at home, now you may be required to hand over your personal computer if something happens and they need it for evidence.

OMG FINALLY some assailant gets arrested. Sexually harrassed servers: 1, handsy pigs: ten billion.

Absolutely saddened to learn that Yogi Berra has passed away. A World War II vet, present on the beaches of Normandy. And a Yankee. Anyone who knows me, knows I am an unabashed Yankee hater. But that dude transcended my opinion. What a personality, what a ball player, what a legend. RIP Yogi.

Jameson is the only whisky I can drink ...”neat”

Tuna melts are delicious! Mmm. So delicious.

You could embrace stoicism...

I used to work as a breakfast server in a place that also had a full bar. Unfortunately the bartender wasn’t scheduled to come in until 2pm each day. That meant that one of the servers each day got assigned to cover the bar IN ADDITION TO their regular section. I got awesome at making mimosas, screwdrivers, and bloody…

Pinkham’s Law for Caroline Akers: I broke this down in a brief comment discussion below, but ordering whiskey without a modifier is incomprehensible to the average human being. So, the bartender offered two exceedingly reasonable options (Beam and Walker). Furthermore, if you ordered “whiskey neat” from me, I’d be…

I am a whiskey guy but what whiskey was he expecting to get? Whiskey is a generic term for fermented grain- I’d think a basic bourbon like Beam would be what I’d mention unless he asked for something specific. If anything, bourbon would be closer to a generic whiskey than scotch whiskey. What did I miss?
